"She said: 'Those three dear old things!" replied the S.-W.P. "And she said: 'I hope you kissed them for me." "He did indeed," said Aggie dreamily, and only roused when Tish nudged her in a rage. Charlie Sands came to have tea with us yesterday at Tish's. He is just back from England and full of the subject. "But after all," he said, "the Simple Lifers take the palm.
But Tish's keen eye had seen it. She sat on her horse and gazed toward it. "What a shameful thing it is," she said, "to prostitute the beauties of this magnificent region to such a purpose. To make of these beetling crags a joke! To invade these vast gorges with the spirit of commercialism and to bring a pack of movie actors to desecrate the virgin silence with ribald jests and laughter!
It had been Tish's theory that the red-haired man should not be taken into our confidence. If there was a reward for the capture of the spy, we ourselves intended to have it. The steamer was due the next day but one.
Hutchins, who was waiting in Tish's car, saw him, too, and went quite white with fury. Shortly after that, Hannah came in one night and said that a man was watching Tish's windows. We thought it was imagination, and Tish gave her a dose of sulphur and molasses her liver being sluggish. "Probably an Indian, I dare say," was Tish's caustic comment.
"I am going to New York on the nine-forty train and I shall take the first steamer outward bound I need a rest! I'll go anywhere but to the Holy Land!" We went to Panama. Two months afterward, in the dusk of a late spring evening, Charlie Sands met us at the station and took us to Tish's in a taxicab.
"Don't think," Aggie went on, to Tish's fury, "that we don't know a few things. We do." "I see," he said slowly. "All right. Although I'd like to know " "Good-morning," said Aggie, and kicked her horse to go on. I shall never forget Tish's face. Round the next bend she got off her horse and confronted Aggie.
It will prevent chilling. With a waterproof bag of crackers, and mild weather, one could go on comfortably for a day or two." I still remember the despairing face Aggie turned to me. It was December then, and very cold. However, she said nothing more until January. Early in that month Charlie Sands came to Tish's to Sunday dinner, and we were all there. The subject came up then.
As soon as we reached our decision, Tish ordered beads for the Indians; and in the evenings we strung necklaces, and so on, while one of us read aloud from the works of Cooper. On the second evening thus occupied, Hannah, who is allowed to come into Tish's sitting-room in the evening and knit, suddenly burst into tears and refused to go.
Ostermaier says it is painful to watch her holding them in place when she yawns. Strangely enough, however, a few weeks later Tish's enthusiasm for the West had apparently vanished.
Well, we started at last, and I must say they let us over the border with a glance; but they asked us whether we had any firearms. Tish's trunk contained a shotgun and a revolver; but she had packed over the top her most intimate personal belongings, and they were not disturbed. "Have you any weapons?" asked the inspector. "Do we look like persons carrying weapons?" Tish demanded haughtily.
